Calculation of Pump

The document contains calculations for determining the water horsepower (WHP), brake horsepower (BHP), and motor specifications for various pump capacities operating at a head of 76 meters. It includes calculations for multiple pump makes - Kirloskar Brothers, WPL, and KSB - with pump capacities ranging from 2,500 to 20,000 gallons per hour. For each pump setting, it calculates the WHP based on flow rate and head, determines the required BHP based on pump efficiency, and verifies that the proposed motor output can properly power the pump.
